ABOUT THE Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics
Dietetics is the scientific study of the relationship between food and health. Dietitians help people improve their health by applying the principles of nutrition and food science. Patients receive care and counselling from dieticians, nutritionists, and nutrition and dietetic technologists who work together to deliver such care. It assists individuals in developing positive links between maintaining a healthy weight and their overall health.
The Diploma Program is a complete set that gives the learner chances to learn about nutrition and public health. It also gives people the chance to learn how to share information about nutrition and health with the community. The goal of the Program is to give students more knowledge about nutrition and public health, spread information about communication concepts and how they can be used in nutrition and health education, and teach people how to be nutrition and health educators in the community. Learners with a basic 10+2 degree and an interest in helping their communities will find the diploma very useful.
